Dark Planet

This has been in the works a couple of weeks and pretty accurately reflects my mood of late. Of course, music is great therapy...

There are 48 track of dark goodness, almost evenly divided between guitars and vocals, with some bass and drums thrown in for good measure. There's a lot packed in to the seven plus minutes and, by the end, it pretty much had pegged the volume meter to the roof. So listen with your speakers turned up to 11.

Moody Blues feel
This has a nice Moody Blues feel. The sense of differing time signatures adds to the floating, and I like it, altho I think at times it gets just a tad aimless. I like your singing, again a Moody Blues feel. This is one of my favorite things you've ever done. Thanks for sharing this, and working so hard on it.

Even with
the vocal (which are excellent) this could be classed as Cinematic. Love the way you've done this with such quality in the sound, production and performance.... really is powerful and thoughtful in both the lyrics and music.... I can understand there being so many tracks and it was really worth the work. Fantastic, regards M

infinity burning
Sheesh Joe, you wanna lay down on my couch and let some of this out? :-) This is indeed quite ambitious, I will agree with Tobin, but for opposing critical effect... I agree that there is an aimless "lost" quality to this music, a distracted ambivalence, but if you read the lyrics, I truly believe THAT is what you were going for, and you nailed it! There's a gritty hopeless angst here that is well portrayed. Your guitar work, singing, and choices for layers of synths really hits home. Although with this many layers it is so hard to keep things from getting a bit muddy, overall the mix is OK. But overall, the concept and writing and pacing is excellent. Faved without a moment's hesitation.
